Spicy food and vegetables – the key to longevity.
Immortality, while man remained elusive and fiction of science fiction. But many people want to extend its life much longer.
And if you want to live long and be healthy, try to spice up lunch, hot pepper, and replace in your diet potatoes, cauliflower, and don’t be afraid to drink coffee.
Of course, the greatest attention is paid to dietary issues: we all want to know what you need to eat, to be healthy and live as long as possible. The facts here appear almost every day.
And here are just some of the statistical discoveries on the subject of healthy eating, published in recent days. If to continue the conversation about coffee, then we know that it can stimulate brain activity, but many believe that coffee is bad effect on the heart, in particular, causes atrial fibrillation, or atrial fibrillation.
The authors of an article published in BioMed Central, disagrees: Susanna Larsson Susanna Larsson and her colleagues from the Karolinska Institute no correlation between the number of daily coffee and likelihood of arrhythmia could not be found. The work is based on data collected over 12 years from more than 75 thousand people, men and women; in addition, the researchers emphasize that their results are consistent with the results from other articles is also devoted to the possible relationship between coffee and impaired heart rate.
In General, it is worth noting that the negative effect of coffee on heart, apparently, greatly exaggerated. So, three years ago, we wrote about the fact that coffee is not only not harmful, but even useful, because it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, and the more coffee we drink, the generally live longer.
Longevity can contribute and hot pepper: among 500 thousand over the seven-year observation period the premature death rarely comes to those who eat it at least once a week. We are talking not only about the pepper in its pure form, but also about any food, where it was added as seasoning; details about the study can be read in an article in the British Medical Journal.
The authors believe that a similar correlation can be found for other products and is renowned for its spiciness and pungency: horseradish, mustard, ginger and garlic. As for the pepper, he is, as you know, the pungency gives the alkaloid capsaicin; according to some, capsaicin lowers blood pressure and causes the death of malignant cells.
To live a long and happy life is possible, if maintain normal weight: obesity, overweight are usually accompanied by serious malfunctions in the metabolism, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The most obvious way to prevent this is to eat right, and more often then suggest to eat more plant foods, i.e. vegetables and fruits. However, the vegetable, the vegetable alike.
In an article in PLOS Medicine staff at Harvard University, Boston Medical center, Deaconess Beth Israel and Boston children’s hospital write that from plant foods for a healthy diet, you should give preference to those which contain little starch. The paper analyzes data from 130 thousand people gathered over two decades. The overall conclusion is not that Shine with originality: the nutrition in fruits and vegetables promotes weight loss. (However, here we must clarify that the fruits and vegetables you need to eat not over, say, a hamburger, and instead of it.)
However, according to the collected statistics, products such as corn, peas or potatoes (either boiled or baked), in contrast, contribute to the accumulation weight. They contain a lot of starch, which increases blood sugar, which in turn, causes the tissues to utilize mainly carbohydrates, leaving fat stores intact, and “superheat” the insulin system, which should monitor the sugar exchange. (In addition, an excess of carbohydrates in the blood, oddly enough, stimulates hunger and makes me eat even more.) That is, in order to keep your weight under control, it is better to lean on fruit and non-starchy” vegetables, like cauliflower, and soybeans.
